In the mind. In the brain. In the body. But less meat, more milk for the newcomer. If we weren't at the mercy of our environment, or at least highly motivated by it, well then we wouldn't have eyes, ears, nose, mouths, hands, and legs.

I wouldn't think it appropriate, hanging out at night clubs where alcohol is served if someone is new in sobriety. When one is new in sobriety, it sure does feel like a battle; wrestling between cravings and temptations and staying sober and doing sober-minded activities. Learning to live differently. Learning to "surrender" is a practice, an insight that isn't embraced overnight. There's no reason why I could go to a dance club and enjoy electronic music... but I wouldn't want to risk it this early on in my recovery.
